A compendium of the Theravāda Buddhist philosophy and meditation, the Visuddhimagga, meaning "Path of Purification (清净道论)", was written in Sri Lanka in the early 5th century AD by Venerable Buddhaghosa (觉音尊者).

'when there is nutriment as mental volition there is reappearance, which brings peril; when there is nutriment as consciousness there is rebirth-linking, which brings peril.'

The underlined part has been skipped over. I am not sure whether this was already missing in the original edition of the Path of Purification translation or whether it occurred during the digitization process for the last edition. I am visiting the Netherlands at the moment and I don't have the original edition at hand.

Elsewhere in the Path of Purification Nyanamoli translated upapatti as ''reappearance.''
